Craftinsure Nationwide Series
Nationwide 2 - Mumbles Yacth Club
23rd & 24th June, 2007
Mumbles Yacht Club hosted the second event in the series of the six Craftinsure Topper Nationwide weekends that span the length and breadth of the Country.  With 178 boats rigged and waiting on the edge of Swansea Bay, Dave Shepard the PRO sent the fleet out into a pleasant 10Knt breeze. 

In the first pair of races Marina Brassington won from Ngaire Strawbridge and Hugh Brayshaw, and Freddie Connor showed a clean pair of heals to win the second pair of  flights from Andrew Brown and Stephen Beckett.  Between the first and second races the wind increased and went left causing a number of false starts.  Eventually the fleet got away cleanly and Anna Piggot lead the fist pair of flights from Andrew Rose and Andrew Brown, with the second pair dominated by Freddie with Lynn Billowes and Nathan Ackroyd chasing.  Given the amount of time on the water the third race was shortened to ensure that the tired sailors could get in for a well deserved shower.  Freddie managed to get entangled in an incident on the line so there were some new faces at the front.  Fergus Barnham led from Hugh Brayshaw and Ben Hodges with the second pair of flights won by Stephen Beckett with Ngaire and Michael Matthews following.

Day two dawned with a very light and patchy breeze and the race committee were concerned that no racing would be possible so hoisted a postponement.  With nearly 200 Toppers clogging up the local car park and delivery area for the Café, the Ice Cream delivery man could not get in.  In the hope of some breeze and in order to keep the ice cream on tap the Toppers launched and proceeded to create a new World Record  - a 178 boat follow-my-leader.  By the time the first start was underway there was a light 5knt breeze, the first race was won by Elliot Hansen with George Meredith and Robin Elsey in pursuit and the second flight by Felicity Foulds with Matthew Johnson and Jack Hopkins trying to catch her.  The second pair of races and what turned out to be the last set of the event again was held in light conditions with Jack Hopkins leading from Freddie and Lorenzo Chiavarini, with Felicity showing dominance in these conditions from Joanna Lucas and Anna Ackroyd.

At prize giving with the table loaded with prizes from Craftinsure and Sailing Solutions the fleet was praised by guest judge and RYA Chairman Eddie Ramsden and by the Mumbles organising committee.  With eight different race winners consistency won the race for Andrew Brown with 6th being his highest position and one point ahead of Freddie who was in turn 2 points ahead of Stephen Beckett, Lynn Billowes was first lady in 7th position.  The Class thanked Mumbles for an excellent weekend and Craftinsure for sponsoring the event.
